Hoot Owl Cafe

Family Christmas dinner. Our first time having dinner here. Baked beans, onion rings, sweet potato fries, turkey rice soup were all amazing!

It’s my favorite breakfast spot in my favorite small town - what’s not to like? I usually get the eggs breakfast with a Woods smokie, hash browns but often swap the toast for a pancake or biscuits and gravy. Or get the Heathen Vegan. It’s all good!

Since the change of ownership there is no consistency and the quality is declining. I want my Loyal Vegsn potatoes the way Wendy made them. The revision is gross. Pimped oatmeal was rubbery and gross. Cut corners lose customers. And 3 of us won't be back.

Decent homegrown diner. Funky decor. I think the waitress forgot about us and my food was undercooked but I'll probably be back anyways. Usually a wait for weekend breakfast. The parking lot is a muddy hole filled mess. Great prices and a local legend.

These guys are great! So much character. Food is great and I’m fairly picky on making sure I can have some sort of fresh veggies in the morning. I feel like anyone can be happy eating here.

Delicious food.... comfort food that makes you want more. We were seated quickly, good morning coffee please.... the breakfast was beyond our expectations, flavor and quality. Make sure you are hungry when you go cause you will be stuffed when you leave. The half order of biscuits and gravy was enormous. I love the pancake with my eggs and bacon oh did someone say bacon, best quality and generous portions. We will definitely be returning in the summer

Was very pleasantly surprised my omelette was amazing!!! Loaded with meat and very reasonablely priced by today's standards was nice to be able to eat out and not spend $20 or more on just myself

Awesome food! Great service! We ate there twice during our stay in Pondarey. First time perfect second time breakfast cold when served as I believe the cook had to wait on the chicken fried steak to finish cooking ( the only hot thing served was the chicken fried steak) eggs, hashbrowns and biscuits and gravy all cold. Interesting on the menu it says if you order coffee 3 bucks, if you say coffee please 2 bucks and if you say Good morning coffee please 1 buck.

HASHBROWN SUPREME!
It's the must have item, I have tried so many times all over the Northwest to locate a breakfast place that has anything even simular; long story short: IT CANNOT BE BEAT.

Great prices. Huge portions. Awesome staff!
They win awards all the time! Coming through Sandpoint, you have to stop here.

Also there is enough room for RV and big rig parking[I have been in both here]

I was once The Hoot Owls biggest fan. I do not know what happened. I used to enjoy the ride from Bonners Ferry to The Hoot Owl knowing we would get great food, and great service. I went in this .week. The hamberger pattie was terrible .it was like a hocky puck..And tasted like someone poured straight Salt over the whole meal.I personally will not be returning. As their food and service has plumited so far. I would not cross the street to eat there.
